Changes for version 0.02

  • Added support for "use" field for using extra modules inside the thread when tie()ing the variable.
  • Added documentation for the TIEHANDLE implementation.
  • Fixed up the default TIEHANDLE implementation. Should now work except for readline() in list context: because the context is not (yet) passed to the thread correctly, reading lines from a file in list context doesn't work.
  • Added BEGIN section to Thread::Tie, causing the default thread to be started during compilation. This can make the thread as lightweight as possible, especially if it is the first module used.
  • Added some intelligence to Thread::Tie::Thread's _freeze and _thaw so that they will not use Storable unless it is really needed. This should be a performance boost for the simple cases.
  • Removed mention of being truly shared because Arthur Bergman pointed out that the current tie() implementation _always_ saves the values in the (thread local) SV. Although this has nothing to do with shared variables, it _does_ cause the values to actually be copied into thread local space everytime they are fetched.
